Sitting at home doing nothing can be boring and being confined to the four walls of your home may have you itching to redecorate.

We’ve put together a list of 15 easy DIY projects to keep you busy during the coronavirus lock down. Save your money for more important things, and decorate your home on a budget!

1. CHALKBOARD WALL PAINT

Put a chalkboard anywhere you can paint. This is perfect for kitchens and kids rooms. Most of these paints are also magnetic, giving you more opportunities to be creative.

9. SIMPLE CUSTOM SHELVES

All you need are some brackets and a piece of wood. The best thing about this project is that you can choose any style of wood you want. Don’t worry about using matching brackets, a mixture will give a more rustic look.

10. CURTAIN HEADBOARD

11. MOSAIC CD MIRROR

If you’ve been doing a covid clean-out, you’ve probably found a mountain of old CD’s and DVD’s. Why not smash them up? Take a mirror and place broken disks around the frame. You can use different types of CD’s to get the appearance of different colours. This sounds tacky but looks incredible!

14. FURRY DESK CHAIR

15. READING NOOK

If you’re like me, you’ll be doing a lot more reading at the moment. Why not create a new space in your home where you can really get lost in a good book? All you need is a piece of wood and some long fabric or curtains.
